Dr Tim Fawcett
Senior Lecturer

Profile

I study the evolution of animal behaviour using a combination of mathematical and computational modelling, behavioural experiments (on humans and other animals) and analysis of large datasets. After a PhD in Zoology at the University of Cambridge I worked as a postdoc in the Netherlands, Canada and the UK, before moving to Exeter in 2015. I am currently a Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour (CRAB).
